Just noticed today. Sucks because the tyres are pretty new. I got some Michelin 2CT's put on about 6 weeks ago.

Anyway, im not sure what to do. I checked if its leaking air and unfortunatly it is. I suppose I have to get the front tyre replaced? Never had a puncture before so dunno what to do really.

Thanks.

If its in the sidewall its fooked, if its very close to the tyre edge its fooked.

If its near the middlish part, then go to a tyre specialist and they will put a bung/mushroom in it for around 20 pounds..
